Portland police's gang team is investigating shots fired at a North Portland basketball court Friday afternoon, a day after shots were fired in two separate incidents just blocks away.

Three men in their 20s were playing basketball at Unthank Park, located at 510 N. Shaver St., about 4:30 p.m. when a burgundy sedan drove up the court, said Lt. Robert King, a spokesman for the Portland Police Bureau. Two men in the car, also in their 20s, exchanged words with the group before gunfire erupted.

The car sped down North Failing Street, King said. No one was injured and the suspects haven't been found.

Just before 5:15 p.m., witnesses told detectives a dark-colored sedan drove out of the Portland Community College Cascade campus parking lot near the intersection of North Albina Avenue and North Killingsworth Street and stopped in the street. Two men got out of the car and fired, King said.

Three cars were hit, one of which was trying to drive away when it was shot, King said. No injuries were reported.

About an hour later, officers responded to a report of about a dozen shots fired in the 4100 block of North Commercial Avenue,
less than a mile away from the first incident, King said. Witnesses
told officers two vehicles were involved: a white SUV and a red sedan.
No one was injured and no property was damaged.

Investigators are looking into possible connections between the three events, King said.

"There are similarities," he said. "They haven't established a connection but it's likely they are related."
